I'm quite sure that person will be confused by some many 'usernames' at
the panel. You would have username button (with IM icon!) that shuts
down machine (with IM icon, remember?), restarts machine, changes IM
status, changes password, and then you would have another username
button (with folder icon) which brings you to your directory, but not to
your files (cause your files are in Documents, Music, Downloads, etc).

'Click your username' (it sounds stupid already)
'Ok, now I can shutdown machine'
'Oh, sorry, the other username, the one under Places'
'Ok, now I see the same folders that were under Places menu. Why didn't
I just click the right folder under Places menu?'

If you want to call is 'username', then put it under existing 'username'
button and don't confuse user with same button title that does different
things.
